Joe Gibbs to speak at 'Game Plan for Life' outreach breakfast

The NASCAR championship team owner and former Redskins coach to share his testimony as a Christian

Joe Gibbs, NASCAR team owner and former Washington Redskins coach, will talk about the dramatic turn of events in his life at his “Game Plan for LIfe” breakfast from 8 to 9:30 a.m. Wednesday at the Prime Osborn Convention Center.

Gibbs won three Super Bowls as coach of the Redskins, and now owns the NASCAR team Joe Gibbs Racing. He also has a strong interest in serving others through Christian ministry.

The event is an outreach breakfast with Gibbs sharing his testimony “and pointing people back to the Bible, and how to have victory in your life,” said Derrick Crawford, executive director of Game Plan for Life.

Game of Plan Life is the ministry side of Joe Gibbs Racing. The breakfast’s aim is to include practicing Christians as well as those who don’t go to church or are non-believers but may find inspiration in Gibbs’ speech. The group’s website said Gibbs’ message “best speaks to a male audience” ages 25 and older.

Guests will also receive a copy of Gibbs’ book, “Game Plan for Life.” He will sign copies of the book following the breakfast.

Tables cost $250 and include 10 tickets. For more information, contact John Beehner, a volunteer in Jacksonville who is helping to coordinate the event, at (904) 332-0425.
